MIDSEASON

American Crime, The Catch, Downward Dog, Imaginary Mary, Still Star-Crossed, Time After Time and When We Rise.

Returning for sixth season, Scandal has been pushed back to midseason due to Kerry Washington's pregnancy. Although not yet announced, it's more than likely that Washington's pregnancy will not be written into the show, much like when she was pregnant during Season 3.

You can find out more about the new shows, including trailers and descriptions, over here.

So there you have it folks! What show are you most excited to see return? What new show looks like a winner?

My bet is on Designated Survivor - who can pass up some new Kiefer action! I will also be watching Conviction, if I can't have Agent Carter then I will have to settle for this.
